Wooster Mountain Shooting Range

Nice range and decent setup for rifles and pistols. No distance shooting. The range officer was beyond rude. As a shooter of over 20+ years, I am well aware that safety at a range is paramount. However, removing an empty pistol from a bag on the ground instead of on the bench does not nor should ever warrant a firm lecture from a bored retiree. When I returned my rifle to it’s sock, unloaded and safe and placed it on the ground before ceasefire, I didn’t expect to be grilled as to whether or not I had made my weapon safe. I wanted to say, «you’re the one with a Glock strapped to his hip giving my friend and I a hard time for no reason, if anyone needs to be watched carefully, it’s you.» Range officers; we are not the reason your grandchildren won’t talk to you anymore… Don’t take it out on us.

The set up looked okay (a little short and very close to the highway) but the older gentleman acting as the field officer on 7÷21÷14 was rude and intentionally unhelpful. As a first time shooter at that specific range you would think they would be more accommodating. I showed up at 6:05 when the hours listed until 7 and was told I had to arrive before 6 as they don’t do «late check ins.» No where on the literature I was handed did it say anything about late check ins and I double checked the website — nothing. Clearly he was just looking to go home.
They obviously aren’t looking for new members.

Wow, this place is tremendous. Much better than any indoor range I’ve been at! Breathe in the fresh air, take in the scenery and enjoy.
The place was packed when I went with guys taking part in a shooing competition, but that aside, you can definitely get space if it’s an off day.
As for finding the site, it can be a bit hard if you are arriving with a GPS. The address that’s listed is incorrect, and there’s no exact address for the property. But, if you punch in what’s listed, it’s basically a mile or so before the final destination, next to the huge red and white cell tower. Can’t miss it if you know to look for the tower.
Wholeheartedly recommend Wooster Mountain Shooting Range. Support these guys!
